Dental implants have become one of the most popular and rapidly growing techniques for replacing missing teeth. While their predictability, functionality, and durability make them an attractive option for patients and clinicians alike, complications can arise at any stage from patient assessment to maintenance of therapy. Failure of dental implants not only occurs due to biological factors, like unsuccessful osseointegration or peri-implantitis but may also occur due to technical complications like, failures of implant-supported restorations relating those from the implant components, and those relating to the prosthesis. Technical problems related to implant components include abutment screw fractures and cover screw fractures. In this case report we have elucidated an adhered cover screw in an implant.

Objectives: Maxillary transverse deficiency is a common malocclusion frequently observed in orthodontic clinics. Miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) not only produces greater skeletal expansion but also offers advantages such as simple miniscrew implantation without flap elevation, enhanced patient comfort, and an expanded age range and indications for palatal expansion. However, the fixed connection between the expander and the miniscrews makes the expander difficult to remove, significantly hindering its clinical application.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy and clinical impact of implant placement by novice implant clinicians in the narrow anterior ridge by fully guided (FG), pilot-guided (PG), and freehand (FH) placements.
Materials And Methods: A maxillary surgical model with missing incisors and a narrow ridge was designed. Two implants were planned in the lateral incisor locations to receive screw-retained implant prosthesis.
Penetration of the Scalp by the Bent Fragment of a Pre-installed Titanium Mini-Plate Due to a Minor Head Injury: A Case Report.

Titanium mini-plates are commonly used for bone flap fixation in craniotomy and are particularly essential for covering burr holes. Plate exposure through the scalp may occur because of scalp thinning caused by infection or local ischemia, and penetration of the scalp by a titanium mini-plate that had been bent by a minor head injury are rare. A 69-year-old man who had undergone covering of a burr hole in the calvarium by a titanium plate for clipping of a ruptured aneurysm 17 years ago was referred to our clinic to examine metal protruding through the scalp.

Purpose: The small pedicle widths, the thin lateral cortical shell next to the vertebral artery (VA), and the strongly tilted pedicle axis anteromedially narrow the safety margin for cervical pedicle screw (CPS) placement against vertebral artery (VA) injury. We have studied whether the minimally invasive surgery (MIS) of a posterolateral approach with a table-mounted, surgeon-controlled mode of robotic assistance (group R) improves the VA safety compared to C-arm fluoroscopy-guided conventional open technique (group F).
Methods: Group R consisted of 165 screws in 37 patients and group F, 199 screws in 52 patients.
Introduction: Long posterior spinal stabilization is often needed for thoracolumbar fractures with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). Recently, surgery using percutaneous pedicle screws (PPS) has become more frequent. However, hidden blood loss (HBL) cannot be ignored in surgeries using PPS.
